Sorry to tell you but this is 4chan not bioware

Witty retort, Did it not occur to you that the Normandy does not have the room to accomodate an elcor?

Clever statement, you read this in my voice.

regretful
i doubt it

Blasto the Hanar Specter says "fuck you"

>>48703780

FUCK

Can you pass it on?

>>48703819
Upgrades, friend. Upgrades.
I would jettison my entire crew for an elcor.

>>48703878

ENKINDLE THIS.

>>48703998
renegade +16

I see a collector squad member in ME3.
Just wait.

>>48704209

there a bunch of mindless cyborg bugs controlled by reapers

The Blasto movie is a biopic. There is a Blasto character in the ME universe. You can talk to him.

With resignation. I cannot stop reading this thread in an elcor voice.

>>48703819
You wrote the first sentence before deciding to turn it into elcor-speak. I see that capital letter, faggot.

Also: Elcor, hanar and volus would all make shitty squadmates in a combat situation. You retards only like them because they're all ecks dee so randum or something. Fuck your shit.

I would kill a man to actually watch Elcor Hamlet.

>>48704293

>Blasto, the first hanar Spectre, is a fictional character in the Mass Effect universe. Blasto's exploits and catchphrases are humorously depicted on various audio advertisements for an upcoming extranet film called Blasto the Jellyfish Stings. Due to the titicular use of "jellyfish", which many hanar deem an ethnic slur, the film has received some opposition from anti-defimation leagues.

>>48704338
>hanar would make bad teammates.
This one thinks you should shut the fuck up

>>48704258
Just as the geth were being used by Saren.
blow up the base, RELEASING CONTROL, a random collector ship that wasn't on the base gets FREE and now they are protheans again.

>Doing the Elcor romance for FemShep
>30 hours later
>Finally got the fucker to open up to me

>>48704338
Elcor could mount huge fucking cannons on their backs.
Hanar could use psychic bullshit or something.
Volus could... swindle or whatever...

>>48704209
You won't get a Collector, but you can bet on Shep finding the last Prothean sealed away in one of those pods and he'll join the team as capable squad member with 100% unique Prothean Scientist abilities that nobody else has. He'll also be the team's science guy, since Mordin will be dead and all.

i dont want to put up with so much time wasted because of the vollus taking pauses to breathe.

The Elcor doesn't even have to join you on missions. He could easily do Kelly's job. That alone would be awesome enough.

>>48704338
Ever spoken to Zaeed?
Don't think so.

The guy almost got killed by a Hanar.

>>48704388
Hanar are cripples when they're not swimming. So unless you want all of ME3 to be a water dungeon, yes, they'd be shitty teammates.

>>48704448
>implying I let the very model of a scientist Salarian die

>>48703878

THIS ONE WILL FUCK YOUR SHIT UP.

>>48704422
Elcor would still move slowly and be unable to stop getting hit by everything.

Hanar could only fight well in the water.

Volus can only trade, unless it's a biotic god. In that case, you don't even need Shepard anymore.

>>48704545
He got jumped by a handful of mercs, one of which was a hanar who was probably desperate for money or something.

>>48704578
Doesn't matter, he should already have died of old age. I guarantee you that he won't be in the sequel because of this.

>>48704422

We already have our guys.

There's Blasto the Rambo Hanar spectre.

There's Dill the Remorseful Killer, the Elcor spectre.

And then there's Niftu Cal, the Volus biotic god.

>>48704494

>Volus steps away from the mouthpiece to breathe

>>48704578
He's old by Salarian standards. He'll probably retire, or depending on how many years later is ME3, dead.

I want a romanceable female turian teammate.

>>48704742
Faggot.

"This one does not have time for your solid waste excretions."

>>48704686

Fuck Shepard.
That's my fucking squad.

>>48704686

needs a shifty looking cow

>>48704374
How do other races know about jellyfishes anyway?

I do FUCKING WANT Samara romanceable. Thats all...

I'm starting my run on insanity

What class is the easiest?

Volus: No notable physical ability despite coming from a world with 1.5 times our gravity they are still weak as fuck. Also they need special gas to breath since our nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere is toxic to them that means that any punctures and they're even more fucked than a Quarian.
Elcor: Sure they're huge and strong but they move very slowly and no way you are getting them under cover from enemy fire. Also I don't believe they can use standard small arms perhaps you could mount some heavy weapons on them but I for one don't want to have to wait for a slow shuffling weapons platform to catch up with me.

>>48704968

I want you romancable.

>>48704973
Sentinel for the Tech shield.
Or else a Soldier with Geth Shield bonus power.

>>48704973
The infiltrator guide that dude posted.
I saw that on the bioware forums as well.
They said that was the easiest if starting fresh

>>48704968
>Samara

HHHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG

>>48704929

We'll increase the party size to eleven.

From 3.

>>48704973
Soldier and infiltrator I find...

>>48704973
Sentinel is good because Warp is amazing, and Tech Armour reduces the need for using Barrier or Geth Armour as your bonus skill, you can use Warp Ammo for that.

>>48704968
Haha, second.

protip: if you are just starting know this, you only get 1 time to pick your weapon unlock when you are on the collector ship, its that time and only that time, every play through after you get the choice you originally picked.

>>48704978
>but I for one don't want to have to wait for a slow shuffling weapons platform to catch up with me.
I'll take ten.

I want Wrex, Garrus, Kaidan/Ashley, Tali, Liara and all the crew of ME2.

PLUS some new squad members.

EVERYONE, UNITED!

>>48703722

>>48705043
>>48705105

I think I'll go with the Sentinel then since I played as an Infiltrator my first time through

Kal'reegar and Nihlus confirmed ME3 party members

>>48705216
On my first play through as an adept I took sniper.

After finishing that play I deleted the save and made a sentinel, then took assault rifle. (much better...)

Unless, you mean each play through with the same character.

I fucking hate SMG's.

>>48705097

Pleased, I'm satisfied that the people here respect the better races in this game.

Regretful, I note that crew members of these are unlikely to happen.

>>48705216
that's awful. I was expect being able to get the Revenant rifle if I got the assault rifle specialization on my first playthrough.
After six freaking playthroughs I would have all the god tier weaponry.

>>48704601

This is true, the solution?

Make him a mobile weapon platform of course. Strap a Thaix cannon on his back.

>>48705302

What bonus power should I choose:

Armor Piercing Ammo
Barrier
Slam
Fortification
Geth Shield Boost
Energy Drain
Reave
Neural Shock
Shredder Ammo
Warp Ammo

Also thanks to the guys giving me suggestions

A Elcor heavy would be interesting.

But I don't see how it would be very viable without being retardedly OP.

Unless they greatly increase the NPC per fight count in ME3.

The only viable race left are the Batarians.

>>48704422

>Volus driving a mech

I can see it work...

>>48705328
NIHLUS IS DEAD. HE CANNOT JOIN YOUR PARTY BECAUSE HE IS DEAD. NIHLUS IS DEAD. HE CANNOT JOIN YOUR PARTY BECAUSE HE IS DEAD. NIHLUS IS DEAD. HE CANNOT JOIN YOUR PARTY BECAUSE HE IS DEAD.

YESS we need a full crew of vorcha, batarians, rachni, hanars, krogans and lot of husks

The only humans in the ship are part of the big harem of shepard, if you want you can try to romance the sexy elcor leader of the council or that rachni queen with the big juicy ass.

is all up to you

>>48705548
Reave. If you are not going sentinel, Geth Shield Boost.

>>48705272
You see, this is why it's hard for us to be friends.
I just want some hot action elcor and you insult me for it.
I'm telling mom.

>>48705548
Barrier + Tech Armor = TankShep

Squad Armor Piercing is pretty nice though, I respecced to Barrier for the last few bits of the game as god mode is awesome.

>>48705633

You need to be hired by Bioware, right now.
You're a fucking menace to society.

>>48705627
Shepard was dead too, look what shim went on to accomplish. You're argument is invalid.

>>48705975
>implying that Nihlus is important enough to ANYONE to be resurrected, a process which cost hundreds of billions of credits

>>48705633

The ship could have lower portions inhabited by Batarians and Vorcha and such which are never visited by the other crew members. There's shit and graffiti everywhere.

There could be a side mission where you venture there.

>>48706053
>4 Billion

>>48706090
>typed 'billions'
>meant to type 'millions'
>would have technically been right if I'd typed 'millions'
>feels bad man

>>48705627

They'll find a way. Unlike Garrus, Nihlus' voice actor wasn't a bitch. Also, the latter looks a lot better.

>>48705693

>Barrier + Tech Armor = TankShep

Just started playing, I like it already, thanks for the suggestion

Why is Wrex dying canon? The council was a field of dicks, but Wrex was a visionary.

>>48706318

To sell ME 1 copies.

>>48706318
If someone is playing ME2 without playing ME1, they would be confused who Wrex was and why he was going "MAH FRIEEEEND"

But yea, also to push ME1 copies like >>48706356 said.

>>48706356

That... makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

I don't understand why people think Nihlus is cool. He had five minutes of screen time and did absolutely nothing other than get himself shot. Like Jenkins.

>>48706863

I agree

Hanar romancable for a femshep.
Lots of tentacles, if you catch my drift.

>>48706989

JAPAN, GET OFF OF 4CHAN

IT'S PAST YOUR BEDTIME

>>48706989
We really need a Hanar + Asari porn game.

>>48706863
Because Nihlus had superior voice acting and was a badass. "I move faster on my own."

Also, Jenkins was pretty cool too. I'd rather have him than Kaiden, tbh.

I want that biotic volus. That would be amazing.

Elcor: "Exasperated grunting: Huff....huff...huff..."

Best. Sex. Ever,

>>48706863
>implying Jenkins wasn't cool

Elcors dont even have moving animations, yes, bioware is that lazy

>>48706863
I laughed so hard at Jenkings dying, i mean he was shot by the first fucking drone in the game

>>48707304

Haters gonna hate

>>48706863

The coolest looking turian.

>>48707246
I saw one walking when I entered the Presidium.

>>48707125
>herp derp badass
yea mang thats so cool when he said that i was like "AW MAN BADASS

>>48707246
Lazy because they didn't program something that was unnecessary in the game?

>>48707246
They do, you see them walk on the Citadel.

Reave is fucking brilliant on Insanity.

On Casual-Veteran, Slam is probably the best. Can't say for Hardcore as I went from Veteran to Insanity.

I don't care as long as ME3 has a Hanar teammate

>>48707348
in b4 garrus cock gobblers

>>48707304

Jenkins is a reference to WoW meme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCNJRfSZBU

>>48707400
lol no, you see an elcor moving in the presidium animation in ME2, and he moves like its some fucking GarrysMOd movie

Trolling statement, PS3 has no games

>>48707450
No

>>48706863
>>48707304
>>48707220
Fun fact: On a new game plus in ME1, you can equip Jenkins with any armor in the game including alien-only armor but none of it will change his character model.

I don't actually know if this is common knowledge or not.

>>48707414
Could you tell me how it works?

Does it bypass shields and armor? Barriers? I haven't actually used it.

>>48707479
So? They move, you're wrong.

>>48707246

>Didn't see the Elcor on the Presidium in 2
>My face

>>48707513

Yes. You know it to be true.

>>48707348

Hell naw, Garrus with his face grazed, bullet holes through his suit and his sniper vision makes him look way better.

>>48707355
>>I'm mad

>>48707450

>Jenkins is a reference to WoW meme

I thought he was named that just because it's the usual red shirt type of name

>>48707414
Slam is fucking boring. A physics move that doesn't actually move people anywhere. They should've made it possible to slam people off walls or ceilings if the environment allowed it, that would've been interesting.

>>48707581
he moves but its fucking obvious they made him move manually like if it was garrys mod

>>48707639
I am kind of mad, because you retards will latch on to anything remotely likable and start spewing words like "badass" or "bro" or "awesome". Nihlus was a shitty spectre, deal with it.

>>48707559
Double damage against armor and barriers. Heals you, stuns enemies for a brief period. Everything you need on Insanity. I tried out Barrier/Geth Shield/Fortification/Slam and Warp Ammo and Reave was the most useful as a Soldier. Short cooldown too.

Uh...wasn't Nihlus the main character of one of the books ? I think I read somewhere that's why people like him so much.

>>48707842
i never understood why the geth infiltrators or assassins or whatever they are called look organic, like a naked quarian or something

>>48707893
No. The earliest events in a novel are Saren's mission with Anderson.

Nihlus could've beat Saren, easily.

He was capped in the back of the head like a punk.

>>48707906

Maybe, because Quarians made them? You never thought of that?

>>48707906
Geth are synthetic, they aren't exactly robots, they just aren't biological lifeforms, the assassins need to be agile and flexible so simulated muscles would be more useful than pistons and gears.

>>48707842

Nono Quarians are Muslims.

>>48707842

fuck man. batarians are russians; turians are germans. vorcha are mexicans. i don't know what the fuck the drell are.

>>48707819
Nihlus Kryik is one of the Citadel Council's most decorated Spectre agents. Born in a small mercenary outpost outside Hierarchy space, he learned the hard way to fight for what he wanted. His father died when he was 16, and his mother forced him to join the turian military. His outsider status made life difficult; though he was always at the top of his class, his superiors and peers never truly accepted him.

As a soldier, Nihlus' skills were unquestionable. His attitude, however, often got him in trouble. On several occasions, he disobeyed direct orders to do what he thought was best. Although his instincts were usually proven right, his notoriety grew. Even when he single-handedly routed an enemy patrol, and saved his squad from ambush, his commanding officers berated him for his recklessness. His military career seemed to stall before it even began.

After being reassigned to a new squad for the third time, Nihlus was introduced to Saren Arterius, a fellow turian and a Spectre. Saren was impressed with the young soldier. He befriended Nihlus and offered to mentor him. Within a year of meeting Saren, Nihlus was asked to join the Spectres.

Free from the restrictions of military procedure, Nihlus excelled in his new role. He quickly stepped from his mentor's shadow and established himself as one of the Council's top agents. Since then, Nihlus has completed countless missions as a Spectre, each one more difficult and dangerous than the last.

Cool under pressure, Nihlus has an uncanny ability to find an enemy's weakness and exploit it. Though his methods aren't as brutal as Saren's, he will not hesitate to efficiently and thoroughly eradicate anything or anyone that stands in his way. He also does not share Saren's grudge for humanity, seeing instead their potential.

herp

>>48707842
i fucking raged

Salarians are smart, mathmatical, weird looking and awkwards. Assari are all into culture, romance, history and liberated sex. SWAP ASIANS AND EUROPEANS.

Also Volus = perfect jewism

>>48707906
The leaping ones weren't made by quarians. Those models were developed after the geth rebellion, by the geth themselves. They look organic because they basically have synthetic muscle fibers, guess the geth realized that it's a good design to use or something and replicated it with NANOMACHINES!

>>48708095
They actually seems to represent different slavic/eastern european states, Tali is siberian.

>>48708095

Quarians are Eastern European and Mediterranean.

Also, 'Muslim' isn't exclusive to the Middle East you twat, a good portion of natural-born Americans of no eastern decent are muslim.

Nihlus was close to Saren, Saren showed him the ropes.

Which is why he was caught off guard so easily. Sure it's kind of suspicious but there would be no reason to think your old mentor who is regularly deployed on top secret missions for the Council would have gone rogue and was just waiting to shoot you in the back.

>>48708199

That doesn't make any sense.

If anything make Quarians Palestinians.

>>48708283
But.... but...... jews......

>>48708121
And yet, he let himself get shot in the back like a retard.

Face it, he's shit.

>>48708283

The male Quarians don't sound Middle Eastern at all.
Neither do most of the females. Listen to the Quarian on Level 26 of the Citadel, or listen to the Quarian girls during Tali's loyalty on the Flotilla. Many of them don't have accents at all.

Tali's really an exception.

>>48708199
>a good portion of natural-born Americans of no eastern decent are muslim.
Yes, the black ones. In prison.

It is an underdog religion.

I thought we already established that the Quarians are gypsies - nomads that can salvage EVERYTHING.

>>48708411

no

>>48708390
It depends what ship you're on really, they all have their own sub-cultures.

>>48708348
Also, he escaped from Samara by endangering the lives of innocent people. Nihlus is scum.

>>48708390

Well none of the races speak like their nationalities. Where did you get that from?

>>48708465

I'm sure they do. You can assume from how much they emphasize their home vessels that each one is probably like a different 'country' almost.

>>48708465
'You have a ship called the Qwib-Qwib ?'

>>48708532

wat

Tali only sounds that way because that's the accent that gets passed around her ship. Most of the other ships in the migrant fleet will have quarians with different accents. For example, Kal'Reegar is from space Texas.

>>48708348

Saren was his friend and mentor, which is why Nihlus lowered his guard.

Why else would Saren cap Nihlus like a bitch? Because Saren is afraid of Nihlus' badassery

>>48708571

Click on the red things.

>>48708597

Fuck yeah he does.

God damn I wish I was born on that ship.

>>48704601
FUCK, i read the last line while drinking, spit water all over the place. one of the best moments in the game

>>48708431

plus people hate them because they think they're thieves and a lot of them died (holocaust/gethocaust)

>>48704209
inb4 "oh hey I'm a prothean and somehow I exist 50,000 years after my entire race was turned into mindless slaves oh well eh so how about them reapers"

>>48708665
>>Well none of the races speak like their nationalities. Where did you get that from?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. None of the races as in Asari/Krogan/Etc? What do their nationalities naturally sound like then?

>>48708765
what

Quarians are not jews, the volus are the jews

>>48706863
I almost agree with you about Nihlus. He was a dick, granted most turians are, but he did some Saren class BS that kinda made me dislike him.

If you talk to Samara enough, you knows what I mean

>>48708390

Her dad had a mild ascent, so that's someone.

>>48708775
More like, a stash of stasis pods like the one Vigil was guarding except they're still online.

>>48708843

the nazis killed a lot of gypsies too.

So I just brought legion on tali's loyalty mission thinking it would be hilarious and BAM soon as I get off guns are pointed at him. Shits pretty cash.

quarians = ancient jews
volus = modern jews

>>48709003

>>48708780
>None of the races as in Asari/Krogan/Etc?

No I mean the clown in Heavy Rain.

>>48709062
so what happened next?

>>48707304
I just started a new game+ and gave Jenkins all my best weapons, Colossus armor (didn't show up), and around 70 skill points.

He still got oneshotted by the fucking recon drones, what the fuck.

>>48709062

Anyone who did that was an idiot.

If you have a high enough paragon/renegade you can talk them down, else you have to pick a new squad.

>>48709232
there are like 5 youtube videos showing everything that happens if you do it, search for them

>>48709165
>>48709232
The commander of the Flotilla's guard comes up and yells at you, calling Legion a geth intruder. You can use a Renegade interrupt to disarm his pistol, and either paragon or renegade choices will give you the ability to criticize him.

In particular, using the renegade choice will have you say something along the lines of "You know, a lot of places I go Tali is called an 'it'. (In reference to the Quarian's response to Legion.) It's a he. And his name is legion."

Pretty badass moment. You can also get the same affect from Tali if you bring Legion when you save her at Haestrom.

>>48709238

Yeah. Liz was born in an Eastern country, but she hardly has much of an accent IRL.

Its quite retarded Tali gets accused of bringing active geth to the fleet and she says "I NEVER BROUGHT ACTIVE GETH" with legion just standing there in the background

>>48705105
warp kind of sucks tbh
reave is like warp, except it does 2x damage to armor and barriers, and leeches life from unshielded enemies, and stops them from moving when life is being leached. the only thing you lose is the ability to "explode" enemies that are affected by another biotic move, but, why the fuck waste a 6s cooldown move on something that's nearly dead anyways.
